Ingredients
Scale
For the Mac ‘n’ Cheese:
- 8 oz elbow macaroni
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Burgers:
- 1 lb ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
Optional Toppings:
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
- Pickles
- Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)
Instructions
- Cook the macaroni: Boil the elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Make the cheese sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer, stirring until thickened. Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until smooth. Mix in cooked macaroni and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the burgers: Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into patties and cook on a grill or skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat, place a burger patty in the center, add a generous scoop of mac ‘n’ cheese, and any optional toppings. Wrap tightly, folding in the sides.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half and serve warm.
Notes
- Make it your own: Feel free to swap out ground beef for turkey or a veggie burger, and add your favorite toppings like crispy bacon or jalapeños.
- Reheating: For leftovers, reheat the wrap in the microwave or lightly toast in a skillet for extra crispiness.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
